Fresh fish and chips in Enton Green
Enton Green: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Enton Green?
Milford (Surrey) station, about 0.5 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you come to a school fair in Enton Green?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you do crew food?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can the van come to Enton Green?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Enton Green is within our area and the rest of Surrey. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
It depends on the event: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We will agree terms before the day.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. Find your area.
About our fish and chip van for events in Enton Green
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, which helps volunteer-run events. For community open days and horse and dog shows, we’ll put together a menu of chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Near Enton Green, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu.
The process
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. At midsummer, events in Enton Green stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know the serving time
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need, with cakes and teas alongside. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What you get with us
- Classic food your visitors already know
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

- Hot food handed straight over
